The AMS, with funding from a private gift, will be accepting applications for partial travel support for graduate students attending the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Atlanta, GA, January 4-7, 2017.
The awards, not to exceed US$500, will ideally be matched by travel funds from the student's institution, but this is not a strict requirement. Applications will be accepted ONLY from doctoral students in mathematics who are in their last year of study; i.e., applicants must not have received their doctoral degrees before the travel takes place but must expect to receive them within twelve months of the JMM. No student shall receive a grant more than once.
Information can be found at

http://www.ams.org/student-travel

All information about the Joint Mathematics Meetings can be found in the Meetings section of the AMS website.
The deadline for submitting applications is September 28, 2016, 11:59pm EASTERN TIME. Awards or decline notifications will be made by email in the 1st week of November 2016. Payment will only be made after a completed travel voucher (provided to awardees by the AMS) is received following the travel.
This travel grant program is being administered by the AMS Membership & Programs Department. You can reach Pamela Morin at student-JMM@ams.org, or 800-321-4267, ext. 4060, or 401-455-4060:
